Miami attorney Jack Swyteck detects himself in the middle of an international legal battle more than a Cuban olive oil spill that places him on the deadly mission. Three summers following the Deepwater Horizon environmental catastrophe, olive oil is spewing into the ocean again, this time from a drilling explosion in Cuban waters just 50 miles from the Florida Keys. The slick is going straight for the United States, but the Cubans refuse American offers to aid with the cleanup, and threaten to fire on "hostile" U.S. vessels stepping into their waters. Backstopping the Cubans is the powerful consortium that owned or operated and managed the rig, which is linked with the China, Russian, and Venezuelan governments, who stonewall all inquiries and relief initiatives. Jack and his new wife, Andie Henning, an undercover agent for the FBI, are honeymooning in the Keys when Andie is named away by using an project shrouded in secrecy. Jack, too, is soon again at the job, representing an American girl whose Cuban man was killed in the rig explosion. Although spill occurred in overseas waters, Jack attracts on all his legal know-how to document a wrongful fatality suit in a U.S. court and hopefully bring the young widow a semblance of closure. Jack's pursuit of the unimaginably complicated international case plunges him into a dangerous world filled up with treacherous twists that lead him - and Andie - to the same stunning realization...that the looming environmental catastrophe might have been no "accident" at all.
